That's an interesting idea about the lateral raises. Make the exercise harder by adding slower eccentrics and avoiding momentum as much as possible, but then using a fewer reps than you would normally do.
I've always thought that volume work on lateral head will make it grow. Granted I haven't gone heavier than 25lbs on those ever maybe I should try heavier sets with low reps. I do see other folks in the gym lateral raise 45lbs but the form is complete shit, they're swinging the weight and I do not think that is sustainable in the long run. A floor trainer at my gym did tell me that momentum comes with heavier weights and that its inevitable. He also said that this isn't necessarily a bad thing since you're working the intended muscle group with heavier loads, its just that now there are other muscle groups assisting your rep(like back, traps,or lats).
@@akai2112123 I agree with him. Momentum is just another tool to use to elicit progression. You have to be careful, but like any tool it has its place. Guys like Mike Israetel are against cheat reps, but they're an overloading tool just like dropsets or rest pause. And you can be high volume with lower reps. Volume is primarily equated with how many sets taken to failure (or thereabouts). So 10x5 is higher volume than 5x10. 10x5 is completely unrealistic, but in technical terms it's higher in volume despite the tonnage or total amount of reps being the same. A great way to accumulate more volume is to use lower rep sets. 6-10 is my personal favourite.
I’m really loving your analytically coherent approach on how muscle fibres and alignment play a massive role in the actual muscle building process. You clearly have an in depth knowledge on the process of hypertrophy. I’m currently specialising in the overhead press and it’s variations along with lateral and rear delt work in the 12-15 set range a week and have never seen so many gains 👌🏻🔥
@@NunoAlexandreMB I’m self coaching just now. Doing upper lower 4 days a week focusing on the 531 template and dedicating a specific day for each of the main lifts bench, overhead press, deadlift and squat. If you watch alpha destiny it’s something similar to what he does other than he does a top single and 2-3 back off sets at 70%
I found you channel a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve seen nothing but good valuable information that I have applied to my training. I want to say a big thanks for making these vids Eugene!
Thank you, Eugene! I always used to think my shoulder genetics sucked. Always felt lateral raises target my traps, no matter which form I tried. That was before I came across your tip of trying Y-raises supported on the bench. My shoulders have finally started growing. Thank you so much.
I 100% agree with what he says at chapter 5 (Momentum & Not Going HEAVY). When I worked out at home, I used a little bit of swinging (side raises) to get the dumbbells up and slow eccentrics, to really hit the delts. Nowadays I train at the gym and I use really light weights for cable side raises. Since then, my delts haven't had much growth. Gotta start incorporating heavy side delt work into my workouts once again!
So many flashy fitness content creators out here on YT. Not many deliver quality vids with top notch tips and information whilst keeping it simple and minimalistic. Hats off Eugene 👏🏻
I recently looked at my physique and thought alot deeper on why per month basis I didn't look any bigger (I focus on powerlifting so I think about the weight alot more than my body, though I do some body building aspects after compound). I recorded my sets and after watching this video and others you've put out, is like a new world that I've been exposed to
Thank you, uncle Eugene :) Shoulders are definitely my weakest point and I struggle to even feel those muscles working so I am looking forward to implement this advice and finally grow my shoulders c:
Started incorporating the movement you said in this video for the rear delts, but from another video, where the elbows move more at a lower angle rather than horizontally about 3 months ago and have seen a massive difference in the size and strength of my rear delts. Your videos are always so informative and interesting, so thanks very much for all the great content and advice :) it's really made my training much better over this last year. It's my shoulder (push) day today, so going to use the idea for the lateral raises and see how it goes :)
Hey Eugene, thanks for the tips! I had already implemented the angle and incline on side raises after watching a video from Sean Nalewanyj, but I never thought about doing it for the front raises too. Will definitely try! Quick question: I'm doing a push, pull and leg split, if I implement the Rear Delt Rows should I do them when training my other shoulder muscles or do it on back day. Or does it not matter? Would love to hear your thoughts. Kind Regards.
Hello Niko, I'm no professional, I'm a gym bro if I may say so. I prefer doing them on back days in my opinion, saw a video of Davis Diley talking about doing the same exercise at the end of a back workout because they're small and don't need a lot of work to grow. I may have messed up the explanation, excuse me for that. But that is my 2 cents.
Hey Niko! First thing I would ask you is: Is your rear delt weaker and more deficient that other part of your delts? Does your back tends to get rounded posturally? If thats the case, I would suggest adding the Rear Delt Rows on Chest/ shoulder day as it helps to open up the chest and brings your posture into more vertical and better position. On the pull day, I would say you have enough rows, pulls and other exercises that would give enough stimulus to the targeting muscles, including the rear delt! Goodluck mate
About the reverse fly... I like to do this exercise on the crossover cables, so I can set it to a lower height as you shown to be better. For rear delt work, I also like the facepull. I start with heavier sets without the external rotation to focus more on the rear delt, then I do some more sets with the external rotation with lighter load. But the one exercise that really helped my with delt development is the upright row. Yeah, that's it. Yes, it can be dangerous, but only if you do it with a form that does not suit your body well enough. In the beginning it would bother my shoulders, but as times goes by I was tweaking the movement and now it is my favorite shoulder exercise. A common "mistake" is to grip the bar to narrow and lift it too high. You just gotta listen to your body, it will show you when something is bad.
I've got a trick that ive been using for the last few months and it work wonders: When doing cable lateral raises there is a cable next to you thats getting pulled down, when you're pulling yours to the side. So when you think you can't do any more raises, slightly pull down on this cable with your other hand (pretty much spot yourself) for an easier concentric contraction 🡹 and then go down slowly, which will be a hard eccentric contraction 🡻.
I’m working shoulders tomorrow and I’m 100% trying these out 👍🏼 I usually do standing dumbbell overhead presses, but I might incorporate the high incline overhead presses here and there because I like to workout with my body doing the stabilizing over having a machine or bench doing the stabilizing for me. Great stuff!
Rear delt rows are the best rear delt exercise I’ve ever done. Been doing it for about 2 years and my rear delts are really developed now. I recommend doing it chest supported with dumbbells. Really isolates the rear delts and takes out lower back and triceps which are somewhat used in other varieties. I also recommend doing it one arm at a time and touching the rear delt with the free hand to help connect with the muscle
@@jeffk4710 nah for me they suck because you end of focusing on stabilizing the body. The chest supported rear delt row is true isolation and you can keep increasing the weight
@@puppude Tonight I've tried the delt raises on a bench and also while standing. The neck and traps provide too much support for the shoulders to be completely utilized as Eugene mentioned. On a inclined bench(setup at about 90 degrees) I find I can exert my upper body including shoulders a bit past the cushion while knees are on the chair. Being tall, this allowed me to feel more tension on my upper shoulders. If you have issues with stability while using a chair, use light weight, high reps and work up. Hope that gave you some perspective.
I just stumbled on this channel, well spoken very clear message, how has this gold mine eluded me for so long??? Immediate subscribe after seeing this!
Really appreciate your content, I tried the tucked in elbows on shoulder press and it felt so much better, the y raises were also amazing and permanently in my routine. Just made my whole split so much better, thank you
Quick question; I heard another trainer say NOT to do biceps after your back routine because they will be fatigued from the back exercises. I thought the whole idea was to create muscle failure and your biceps would be warmed up and ready to max out on some curls. I also do triceps after chest exercises for the same reason. Shoulders and legs on the third day. By the way, I’m 70 years old and started lifting again after a 25 year break! I have a Marcy stack machine, preacher curl bench, and REP FID bench along with 6 pair of dumbbells, so I can incorporate just about any type of exercise. I found you thru Mountaindog (RIP), and I do like your style. Thanks, Barry
It is true but depends on your goal if you want bigger biceps then i would warm and do your max bicep sets in the beginning of you session instead of after your back exercises. If you only want to to work them then it should also be fine after back exercises but you might not lift your max since as they are fatigued but not an excessive amount.
@@barrydanish6008 i see, you said max out on bicep curls so i was thinking you wanted to lift heavy/body build. I would keep training as you are and then ask your doctoer if you can switch to switch to jogging/walking and if you can’t do that practice in the water until you can or swim for the cardiovascular gains (blood puming in the heart and longevity of the legs) happy training Barry
I think a healthy balance in your case would be to alternate between bicep and back exercises throughout a session to minimize pre-fatiguing of either muscle groups. For example, start the workout with your heavier rows, before doing barbell curls, and then switch to back exercises requiring lighter weights, and do the same for biceps.
Good stuff Eugene, like many people I need to grow my rear delts more and the lower arm position you describe,( similar to a high row), really toasted my posterior delts. In regards to lateral raises and light weights, we need to keep in mind that going from 20# dumbbells for ten reps to 21# dumbbells for ten is the same percentage increase as going from a 200# bench press for ten reps to a 210# bench press for ten reps !
Very nice and informative video - as usual !! Hopefully I´ll get my shoulders grow with your advices. See you soon 🙂 P.S.: That´s a pretty cool "side-lateral"-dance at 3:33 😄😁
Rear deltoids have another function, lateral rotation. I pick a light weight, raise my elbows to a 90 degree angle lean forward and start to internally rotate my shoulder working eccentric fase, and then laterally rotate, concentric fase. Doing as many reps as possible, then super setting it the reverse flys. The purpose is to make the rear delts work in both of its functions, and as it is the weakest in lateral rotation you will feel them more when performing the rear delt flys. Hope it makes sense. Thanks for your help and great advices Eugene!
in respect of the ideal form for OHP that you presented, does this variation (rotating dumbbells parallel to each other) have any downsides versus the traditional method?
Hi eugene. Back to lateral raises using cables, do we raise the arms slightly forward as u did using dumbells in ur video? Or should we raise it to the sides?
Do you recommend doing 10-20 sets a week for every part of the delt, or 10-20 sets in total for all parts of the delt. For example 5 for front delt, 5 for lateral, and 5 for rear delt.
Rear and front delts works in pulling and pushing movements while side delts are not much involved in compound lifts, so i would put more emphasis on side delts when doing isolation work. For example 5 sets for rear delts and 5 for front and 10 for lateral delts
I don't really know about that but I'm sure front delt doesn't need isolation work, pressing exercises are usually enough. rear delts are covered by rows as shown in the video so you'd only do isolation for mid head. so that is it for me usually, no front delt, 1-2 exercises for side delt, and one extra for rear delts apart from rows
I’m new to training and I noticed my front delts grew quite quickly from my pressing movements and I wanted to build more balanced shoulders so added some lateral raises, but thanks for helping me optimise the movement.
The «momentum» lateral raise example is just hilarious ;)
Timestamps, getting straight into the video, and so much information. Thanks, Eugene!

Also try out cluster sets, recently incorporated the into my program and they’re insanely effective! Only for intermediate/advanced lifters though

What's your thought on wide grip barbell upright rows?
They're fine
Do you recommend doing 10-20 sets a week for every part of the delt, or 10-20 sets in total for all parts of the delt. For example 5 for front delt, 5 for lateral, and 5 for rear delt.
Rear and front delts works in pulling and pushing movements while side delts are not much involved in compound lifts, so i would put more emphasis on side delts when doing isolation work. For example 5 sets for rear delts and 5 for front and 10 for lateral delts
I don't really know about that but I'm sure front delt doesn't need isolation work, pressing exercises are usually enough. rear delts are covered by rows as shown in the video so you'd only do isolation for mid head.
so that is it for me usually, no front delt, 1-2 exercises for side delt, and one extra for rear delts apart from rows
I’m new to training and I noticed my front delts grew quite quickly from my pressing movements and I wanted to build more balanced shoulders so added some lateral raises, but thanks for helping me optimise the movement.
